A Love Song for Bobby Long

"Upon hearing of her mother's death, jaded teenage loner Purslane Hominy Will returns to New Orleans for the first time in years, ready to reclaim her childhood home. Expecting to find her late mother's house abandoned, Pursy is shocked to discover that it is inhabited by two of her mother's friends: Bobby Long, a former literature professor, and his young protégé, Lawson Pines. These broken men, whose lives took a wrong turn years before, have been firmly rooted in the dilapidated house for years, encouraged only by Lawson's faltering ambitions to write a novel about Bobby Long's life. Having no intention of leaving, Pursy, Bobby Long and Lawson are all forced to live together. Yet as time passes, their tenuous, makeshift arrangement unearths a series of buried personal secrets that challenges their bonds, and reveals just how inextricably their lives are intertwined"--Internet movie database summary by Sujit R. Varma, as viewed on July 29, 2005.

  • "Im Haus einer verstorbenen Sängerin lernen zwei aus dem universitären Betrieb ausgestiegene Literaten die vernachlässigte Tochter der Verstorbenen kennen, die das festgefahrene Leben der beiden Männer gehörig durcheinander bringt. Die melancholische Komödie huldigt auf kenntnisreiche Art dem Literaturbetrieb und zeichnet dank eines klug durchdachten Buchs ein sensibles Gruppenporträt, in dessen Verlauf über Werden und Vergehen philosophiert wird. Die überzeugenden Hauptdarsteller tragen zum Gelingen des künstlerischen Konzepts bei. [film-dienst]."
